*lol* Well, nobody native to the US calls it "brekkie." I know a couple of expats living here who do.

I've got to say, I love in principle that McD's has gone to all day breakfast... but my favorite item (the actual, non-patty scrambled eggs from the big breakfast) is not served all day.

I was confused... thought you guys meant this brekkie. :)

brekkie
A person who is obssesed with the breakfast club. Kinda like a trekkie. But insted a brekkie.

Almost everyone I know in the US calls it brekkie at least occasionally.

Hang out with a lot of commonwealth expats, or have a couple of anglophile friends? I've heard it plenty from British and Aussie folks both expats living here and online and when I've been outside the US, but as I said, have literally never heard someone with an American dialect use it.

From a fellow yank, it would be at least as affected-sounding as calling a truck a lorry or a car's hood a bonnet.

Strange. In the US, I don't know any Brits or Aussies, but I hear the term brekkie all the time, as far back as I can remember. It's simply a shortcut word for breakfast like spendy is a shortcut for expensive. Or any of dozens of other examples. Lorry and bonnet are not shortcut words, and would definitely turn my head. Anyway, back on topic, I'm positive I've had burgers early AM at McDs in US airports, though it has been several years.

They certainly have a full lunch menu during breakfast hours at the McD's in the AA terminal at JFK. No McD's at SFO or SJC, nor to my memory one at LGA, and that pretty much is the limit of US airports I've been at early enough for breakfast in recent or even halfway-recent memory.

The now closed McDs in LAX terminal 7 is where I'm sure I had it. Almost sure about ORD as well.

I came across this weird thread. Who would want to eat Filet-O-Fish at 7AM?

If specifically a Filet-O-Fish, I have no idea, but that would be true even if you remove "at 7AM."

That said, I've never understood the particular obsession about eating certain foods only for specific meals (ditto the Americanism that dinner should be the big meal of the day; I preferred a big lunch and a lighter dinner.)

Of course, from a restaurant perspective and particularly a fast-food perspective, it makes sense because to have a bigger menu, you have to have more advance prep items and have more different things going on at once.

whenever in a new country and craving a sweet, cant go wrong with the soft serve. pereception is that it varies by country slightly

You obviously don''t know me, as I've never used the term.

Ditto

In Chile you can get a sundae with cantaloupe sauce. In Argentina you can get a cone made out of OREO.

I wouldn't mind. Could arrive at dinner time somewhere else.

I posted this in another DiningBuzz thread. My new McDonalds meal of choice, which is not for the calorie conscious, is:

- A 6 piece McNugget Meal
- Two McDoubles

Take three McNuggets and put them on top of each McDouble, they should fit perfectly. Then add Sweet n' Sour sauce and you have a McDouble-McNugget sandwich!
